Foul Play
Foul Play is out on PC and Xbox Live Arcade today, and now is a perfect time to become acquainted with Baron Dashforth and his trusty sidekick, Scampwick. Foul Play isn't the average side-scrolling beat 'em up thanks to some smart innovations.
As you might recall from our recent preview, there is no health bar. Since the game takes place on a stage (the story is a recounting of Dashforth's life), an applause meter serves as the life meter. Keep the audience happy, and you'll get to keep beating up actors dressed as monsters.
Foul Play is priced at $14.99 on Xbox Live and Steam. You can get it for $13.49 on Get Games.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
